Too Late to Love Her: When She Divorced, He Fell Apart-Chapter 122: Dr. Lockwood Is My Sister’s Ex-Husband

Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Dr. Lockwood Is My Sister’s Ex-Husband
Claire’s voice was somewhat choked.
Her chest was filled with bitterness.
But soon, she composed herself and continued, "But now, I’ve completely let go, and I don’t like you anymore."
His face darkened and he grabbed her wrist, "You’re lying."
"I’m not." She looked at him calmly and rationally, analyzing, "Whether I say these words sooner or later, it doesn’t really matter. Tristan, I’ve been by your side for so many years, I don’t believe you haven’t felt even a bit of my affection for you. You simply chose to ignore it. Maybe you once had a fleeting interest, but that was all. For people to be together for a long time, liking is probably the most useless thing."
Just like him and her.
What’s the use of liking? In the end, they still end up hurting each other.
"Those first few days after the divorce were actually quite tough for me. I kept thinking that we’ve known each other for so long, and I’ll probably never find someone I like more than you."
She paused, Tristan’s expression softened, and he took this opportunity to come over, wanting to hold her hand.
Claire turned her body to the side, avoiding him.
"But now, I realize I was wrong," she said calmly. "Whether you like someone or if you can be together are two entirely different things. I admit I still like you, but Tristan, I will no longer get entangled with you. We two, aside from bringing each other pain and torment, have nothing else to offer each other."
The Ferris wheel slowly descended.
Tristan felt a weightlessness in his heart, as if it too were descending.
He didn’t notice that his body was somewhat stiff and that a cold hint of disappointment had surfaced in his eyes.
"After knowing you for so many years, it all ends with you telling me I can only bring pain and torment, right?"
Claire was slightly stunned, pursing her lips, and said nothing.
Tristan’s voice was very cold, "Since this is what you think, would it not be fitting for me to act as you wish?"
He curled his lips into a smile, one that was chillingly cold.
Claire’s spine chilled.
When Tristan truly goes mad, he can really do anything.
His ruthless methods are absolutely not inferior to Sean’s.
She still remembers when Tristan first got involved with the Lockwood Family business, a partner tried to exploit his youth, but Tristan discovered it and handled it so miserably that they were willing to cooperate without profit.
She stared at him intently, all vigilance in her eyes.
No feelings to speak of.
Tristan lowered his eyes, hiding the disappointment Claire could not see. When he lifted them again, there was only ice.
The Ferris wheel stopped at this moment.
Claire immediately pushed the door open and walked out without looking back.
Zoey and Dylan hadn’t gotten on the Ferris wheel.
Both stood aside, watching Claire escape with an unpleasant expression.
Following her out slowly was Tristan, his face equally cold, his imposing aura terrifying enough that other tourists dared not approach.
Dylan and Zoey exchanged a glance and then dispersed.
Dylan ran over to catch up with Claire, asking concernedly, "Sister, are you okay?"
"I’m fine."
No way she’s fine.
Dylan looked at her troubled expression, feeling heavy inside, he asked, "Hasn’t Dr. Lockwood already gotten engaged to Miss Adler? Why does he still..."
He didn’t finish his sentence.
Seeing Tristan forcefully kissing Claire at that moment, aside from jealousy and anger, Dylan’s heart slowly surged with fear as if he had lost something precious.
That familiar, natural, and unquestioning action was definitely not something that happened for the first time.
Intuition told Dylan that Tristan and Claire were not kissing for the first time.
Most importantly, Claire’s eyes clearly expressed her feelings for Tristan.
Dylan felt a sinking pain in his left chest.
His mind was sharp, with a little thought, he arrived at a conclusion he could hardly accept.
"Could it be that Dr. Lockwood is your former husband?"
Dylan spoke this wondering if Claire might give a negative answer.
But Claire just nodded and coolly replied affirmatively.
Dylan’s feelings were very complicated.
Originally, Claire’s divorce was what gave him hope. He didn’t expect her to fall in love with him, but people always need a bit of hope.
What if?
But he never imagined that the ex-husband Claire loved deeply was Tristan.
When he was at his lowest, it was Claire who pulled him up. His mother’s surgery was smoothly completed under Tristan’s guidance.
These two were his benefactors.
Seeing them in such a situation, Dylan truly didn’t know how to describe his feelings.
However, seeing tears fall from Claire’s eyes, Dylan could no longer think about so many things, quickly pulling out tissues to gently wipe her tears.
"Sister, don’t be sad. I always felt that Dr. Lockwood cares about you. Maybe there’s some misunderstanding between you two?"
Untying a knot requires the one who tied it. Dylan believed Claire’s heart knot might have to be untied by Tristan.
But Claire shook her head, "There’s no point, Dylan."
She suddenly took a step forward, as if finding a support point, lightly resting her head on his shoulder.
"It’s over."
Dylan lowered his gaze, watching her head buried low and her gradually trembling shoulders, gently extending his hand to caress her back.
In the distance, Tristan withdrew his gaze from them and turned to leave.
Zoey walked beside him, her expression containing more than a hint of a smile, "I thought when you charged in, I’d have to roll away afterward, but I didn’t expect this result."
This Claire, just by looking, she seemed utterly disheartened.
Women understand women best.
Zoey could tell, Claire was completely over Tristan.
And Tristan’s eyes also revealed nothing but ashes.
Regardless of the reason, intuition told her that these two were unlikely to have any further developments.
...
As she departed from Dylan’s shoulder, the corners of Claire’s eyes were very red.
Dylan watched, heart aching terribly, and softly asked, "Sister, maybe I should try asking Dr. Lockwood for you? You might still have a chance."
Although Dylan didn’t know what had transpired between these two specifically.
He still felt that Claire and Tristan actually had deep feelings for each other.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have fought so fiercely.
Claire’s mood was completely calm now.
Over the years, she actually never properly expressed her liking to him. She hadn’t expected that the only time she would was in such a thoroughly blown-up situation.
Instead of the time right after divorce, speaking her mind now made Claire feel she’d genuinely moved on from Tristan.
She raised her eyes with a hint of a smile and asked, "Are you really willing to help me get involved with another man?"
